    About Sophia Rudy

    Women's Health Coach | Align Her Wellness Founder

    I'm Sophia — and I built Align Her Wellness for women who are done fighting their bodies. I grew up as a lifelong athlete — competitive soccer and lacrosse player — and spent years chasing fitness the way most of us are taught to: hard, fast, and completely disconnected from how my body actually felt. It wasn't until I began exploring holistic health and understanding how deeply hormones, cycle health, and nervous system regulation impact the way women move, feel, and recover that everything shifted for me. That shift became the foundation of Align Her Wellness — a coaching space built on health, education, and reconnection to your body. As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach, and Certified Pre and Postnatal Specialist, I've had the privilege of coaching 1,000+ women through the app, 1-on-1 training, and group coaching. My work has been recognized by leading wellness brands including Natural Cycles and Oura Ring. Whether you're building strength for the first time, training through pregnancy, recovering postpartum, or simply trying to understand your body better — you are exactly who this was built for.
